Nice work Dave.

The 1st one is in need of some lens correction imo, to fix the reflection being distorted from the actual mountain.

What Fred said. You nailed each of these with your compositions and I actually think the clean sky in the first image is what makes that one so special. Clean, pure, simplistic and very well executed.

Nice work!

Dave

Thanks for the comments!

Thanks for the comment and helpful critique. Not sure if it is from the lens or angle of view but I see what you're saying. No doubt the image would be improved with the reflection straightened a bit. I'll play with a bit of perspective warping.

I don't know if the off kilter reflection is correctable. It's a problem in my view.

Also the over done color of the earth wedge is over the top. Red in the rocks and peaks is too much out of gray balance.

Perhaps the only earth wedge photo that I've liked is Galen Rowell's use of this phenomenon
in a very well done image of Bristlecones in his book the Dynamic Landscape. The subtle colors in his photo add to the surreal effect of the photo. Steve Roper once said of an earth wedge image of mine, "looks like you did the best you could". Point taken.

Your compositions do a good job of not cutting off the Merriam Peak and the others with the fore ground slabs.

Hard to get around mid-day in the sun cups and mush of June in the high country but look at how many photos Ansel Adams, Joe Holmes took without any clouds to speak of. For me earth wedge photos like silhouette photos like rainbow photos..... (think Ansel Adams photo of Half Dome) need a powerful element of distinction to make them work beyond being a good composition, or technically well executed or well processed, etc.

BTW pouring rain on Lone Pine Peak Sunday and pouring rain in Bridgeport this morning at 6:30.

#1 is a killer shot! Super foreground perspective and comp! I know the feeling when after all your effort the sky is without moisture - but in this case clouds are not needed at all.

I agree with others, you nailed these without any clouds. #1 is over the top - graphic simplicity - pure art.
